Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a method of producing a press-formed product composed of a steel plate, and a press-formed product production line.
  • providing a difference in the plate thickness is effective for achieving a further reduction in weight while ensuring the component performance.
  • the term "providing a difference in the plate thickness” used here refers to changing the plate thickness between a portion that governs component performance and a portion that has little influence on component performance.
  • a tailored blank is used as a steel plate that is supplied for press-working.
  • Such a tailored blank is one kind of varying-thickness steel plate, and includes a portion having a large thickness (hereunder, also referred to as "thick-wall portion") and a portion having a small thickness (hereunder, also referred to as "thin-wall portion").
  • Tailored blanks are broadly divided into the categories of tailored welded blanks (hereunder, also referred to as "TWB") as disclosed, for example, in Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 2005-206061 (Patent Literature 2), and tailored rolled blanks (hereunder, also referred to as "TRB") as disclosed, for example, in Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 2002-316229 (Patent Literature 3).
  • TWB tailored welded blanks
  • TRB tailored rolled blanks
  • a TWB is obtained by joining together a plurality of steel plates having different plate thicknesses and the like by welding.
  • a TRB is obtained by varying the plate thickness by adjusting a gap between rolling rolls that form a pair when producing a steel plate.
  • a plate thickness difference between a thick-wall portion and a thin-wall portion is not particularly large.
  • a ratio "t1/t2" between a plate thickness t1 of the thick-wall portion and a plate thickness t2 of the thin-wall portion is, at most, merely around 1.8.
  • the sizes of the respective regions of a thick-wall portion and a thin-wall portion must be reasonably large. Consequently, the degree of design freedom with respect to vehicle components is low. Accordingly, there is a limit to the degree to which the weight of a press-formed product can be lightened using a tailored blank.
  • the present invention has been made in view of the circumstances described above.
  • One objective of the present invention is to provide a production method and a production line of producing a press-formed product having high strength and for which a reduction in weight is possible.
  • a method of producing a press-formed product includes a steel plate heating step, a hot forging step and a hot stamping step.
  • a steel plate heating step a steel plate is heated to 950°C or more.
  • the hot forging step the steel plate is forged using a first press apparatus and a varying-thickness steel plate is formed.
  • a second press apparatus different from the first press apparatus is used.
  • the hot stamping step includes press-working to form the varying-thickness steel plate into a press-formed product by means of press tooling of the second press apparatus, and cooling the press-formed product inside the press tooling.
  • a press-formed product production line includes a forging press apparatus, a hot stamping press apparatus, at least one heating furnace and at least one manipulator.
  • a press-formed product that has high strength and for which a reduction in weight is possible can be produced.
  • a method of producing a press-formed product includes a steel plate heating step, a hot forging step, and a hot stamping (hereunder, also referred to as "HS") step.
  • a steel plate heating step a steel plate is heated to 950°C or more.
  • the hot forging step the steel plate is forged using a first press apparatus to form a varying-thickness steel plate.
  • a second press apparatus different from the first press apparatus is used.
  • the HS step includes press-working to form the varying-thickness steel plate into a press-formed product by means of press tooling of the second press apparatus, and cooling the press-formed product inside the press tooling.
  • the production method of the present embodiment also includes a preparation step.
  • a steel plate having a uniform thickness is prepared.
  • the production method of the present embodiment further includes a varying-thickness steel plate heating step.
  • the varying-thickness steel plate heating step after the hot forging step and before the HS step, the varying-thickness steel plate is heated to a temperature that is not less than the A c3 transformation point and is not more than "the A c3 transformation point + 150°C".
  • the production method of the present embodiment further includes a cooling step.
  • the varying-thickness steel plate is cooled.
  • the varying-thickness steel plate in this case has a portion that has a large thickness and a portion that has a small thickness.
  • a varying-thickness steel plate in which a plate thickness difference between a portion that has a large thickness (thick-wall portion) and a portion that has a small thickness (thin-wall portion) is large can be formed by hot forging. Further, the varying-thickness steel plate can be subjected to press-working and quenching by HS, and by this means a press-formed product in which the strength of each portion is high and which has a light weight can be obtained.
  • a press-formed product can be produced that has high strength and, furthermore, can be dramatically lightened in weight.
  • a press-formed product is applied, for example, to vehicle components of an automobile.
  • vehicle components include framework components (for example: pillars, side members, side sills, and cross members), suspension components (for example: toe-control links and suspension arms), and other reinforcement components (for example: bumper beams and door impact beams).
  • a ratio "t1/t2" (hereunder, also referred to as "plate thickness ratio”) between a plate thickness t1 of a portion that has a large thickness and a plate thickness t2 of a portion that has a small thickness to be more than 1.8. In this case, it is possible to further lighten the weight of the press-formed product.
  • the upper limit of the plate thickness ratio "t1/t2” is not particularly limited. When taking the uniformity of press formability and quenching in the HS step into consideration, the upper limit of the plate thickness ratio "t1/t2" may be 3.5.
  • the tensile strength of a press-formed product 1300 MPa or more it is possible to make the tensile strength of a press-formed product 1300 MPa or more.
  • the component performance improves in terms of the strength and weight (weight reduction) of the press-formed product.
  • the steel plate consists of, by mass%, C: 0.15 to 0.60%, Si: 0.001 to 2.0%, Mn: 0.5 to 3.0%, P: 0.05% or less, S: 0.01% or less, sol. Al: 0.001 to 1.0%, N: 0.01% or less and B: 0.01% or less, with the balance being Fe and impurities.
  • the steel plate may contain, in lieu of a part of Fe, 0.03 to 1.0% in total of one or more types of element selected from the group consisting of Ti, Nb, V, Cr, Mo, Cu and Ni. In this case, the tensile strength of the press-formed product can be made 1300 MPa or more.
  • a press-formed product production line includes a forging press apparatus, a HS press apparatus, at least one heating furnace and at least one manipulator. According to the production line of the present embodiment, the aforementioned press-formed product can be produced.
  • FIG. 1 is a flow chart illustrating a method of producing a press-formed product according to an embodiment of the present invention.
  • FIG. 2 is a schematic diagram that illustrates the process of the method of producing a press-formed product according to an embodiment of the present invention.
  • the production method of the present embodiment includes a preparation step (step #5), a first heating step (step #10), a hot forging step (step #15), a second heating step (step #20) and a hot stamping step (step #25).
  • the first heating step is a steel plate heating step.
  • the second heating step is a varying-thickness steel plate heating step.
  • each of these steps is described in detail referring to FIG. 1 and FIG. 2 .
  • the press-formed product 1 includes a top plate part 2, two vertical wall parts 3, two flange parts 4, two upper-side ridge line parts 5 and two lower-side ridge line parts 6.
  • the upper-side ridge line parts 5 connect the top plate part 2 and the vertical wall parts 3.
  • the lower-side ridge line parts 6 connect the vertical wall parts 3 and the flange parts 4.
  • the press-formed product 1 having the hat-shaped cross-section is applied, for example, to a bumper beam that is a vehicle component.
  • a bumper beam is arranged so that the top plate part 2 faces inward or outward with respect to the vehicle body.
  • a load produced by an impact propagates through the vertical wall parts 3.
  • the component performance required of a bumper beam is that, when an impact load is applied, the maximum load that can be withstood is high and the absorbed energy is large. Therefore, in a bumper beam, the portions which govern component performance are the vertical wall parts 3, the upper-side ridge line parts 5 and the lower-side ridge line parts 6, and the portions which have little influence on component performance are the top plate part 2 and the flange parts 4.
  • the plate thickness of the top plate part 2 and the flange parts 4 may be thin in comparison to the plate thicknesses of the vertical wall parts 3, the upper-side ridge line part 5 and the lower-side ridge line parts 6. If the strength of each part of the bumper beam is high and, in particular, the plate thickness of the top plate part 2 is thin, the bumper beam will have high strength and will also be light. In the press-formed product 1 illustrated in FIG. 2 , the plate thickness of the top plate part 2 is noticeably thinner than the plate thickness of the other portions.
  • a steel plate 10 is prepared as the starting material of the press-formed product 1.
  • the steel plate 10 is cut out from a hot-rolled steel plate or cold-rolled steel plate or the like that has a constant thickness.
  • the term "hot-rolled steel plate or cold-rolled steel plate that has a constant thickness” refers to a normal hot-rolled steel plate or cold-rolled steel plate, and in such a steel plate a plate thickness difference between the center in the width direction of a steel strip in a coil state after rolling and a position that is 25 mm from an edge is 0.2 mm or less.
  • Variations in the plate thickness of the steel plate 10 (blank) that was cut out from the hot-rolled steel plate or cold-rolled steel plate are, naturally, not more than 0.2 mm.
  • the thickness of the steel plate 10 is around 2.0 to 6.0 mm.
  • FIG. 2 the steel plate 10 that has been cut out in a rectangular shape to correspond to the shape of the press-formed product 1 having a hat-shaped cross-section is illustrated as an example.
  • the steel plate 10 is inserted into a first heating furnace 20 and is heated to 950°C or more.
  • the steel plate 10 is heated in this manner because the steel plate 10 is to be subjected to hot forging in the next step.
  • the heating temperature of the steel plate 10 is 1000°C or more.
  • the upper limit of the heating temperature is not particularly limited as long as the heating temperature is less than or equal to the fusing point of the steel material of the steel plate 10.
  • the heating temperature of the steel plate 10 is not more than 1350°C.
  • the heated steel plate 10 is taken out from the first heating furnace 20, and the steel plate 10 is then supplied to a forging press apparatus 21 and subjected to forging.
  • Press tooling 21a and 21b forming a pair on the upper and lower sides is used to perform the forging.
  • a region at one part of the steel plate 10 is repeatedly rolled in the thickness direction by means of the press tooling 21a and 21b.
  • the rolling region may be the entire area of the steel plate 10.
  • the forging may be closed die forging or may be open die forging.
  • the steel plate 10 is formed into a varying-thickness steel plate 11 by the hot forging.
  • the varying-thickness steel plate 11 has a thick-wall portion 12 and a thin-wall portion 13. Because the thick-wall portion 12 and the thin-wall portion 13 are formed by the hot forging in which the steel plate 10 is subjected to repeated rolling, the plate thickness difference between the thick-wall portion 12 and the thin-wall portion 13 can be made a large difference. In other words, it is possible for a plate thickness ratio "t1/t2" between a plate thickness t1 of the thick-wall portion 12 and a plate thickness t2 of the thin-wall portion 13 to be more than 1.8.
  • the varying-thickness steel plate 11 in which the plate thickness ratio "t1/t2" between the thick-wall portion 12 and the thin-wall portion 13 is not less than 1.8 and in which the thin-wall portion 13 is formed along the lengthwise direction at a center part in the width direction is illustrated as an example.
  • the size of each region of the thick-wall portion 12 and the thin-wall portion 13 is not limited. In a TRB, the size of each of these regions is limited to a size that is large to a certain extent. In addition, because the grain flow continues across the entire area of the thick-wall portion 12 and the thin-wall portion 13, a decrease in strength does not occur at a boundary between the thick-wall portion 12 and the thin-wall portion 13. This is not possible in the case of a TWB. Further, because the varying-thickness steel plate 11 is formed by hot forging, the internal structure of the varying-thickness steel plate 11, in particular the internal structure of the thin-wall portion 13 for which the roll draft is large, becomes compact and homogeneous.
  • a predetermined temperature e.g., 950°C
  • the varying-thickness steel plate 11 After hot forging, it is desirable to cool the varying-thickness steel plate 11 to a temperature that is lower than the A c3 transformation point. The reason is that, in a case where cooling is performed there is the advantage that the toughness of the end product (press-formed product) is superior in comparison to a case where cooling is not performed.
  • the varying-thickness steel plate 11 may be cooled to room temperature.
  • the cooling may be air-cooling or may be rapid cooling such as water-cooling.
  • the varying-thickness steel plate 11 is inserted into a second heating furnace 22 and is heated to a temperature that is not less than the A c3 transformation point and not more than "the A c3 transformation point + 150°C". This is because the varying-thickness steel plate 11 will be subjected to HS (press-working and quenching) in the next step.
  • HS press-working and quenching
  • the internal structure of the varying-thickness steel plate 11 becomes austenite.
  • the second heating furnace 22 may be a furnace that is used exclusively for the second heating step, or the first heating furnace 20 that is used for the first heating step may be shared for use in the second heating step. However, the second heating step is not necessarily required.
  • the second heating step can be omitted.
  • the second heating step is necessary.
  • the temperature of the varying-thickness steel plate 11 that is supplied to the subsequent HS step is nonuniform or is less than the A c3 transformation point, there is a risk that quenching defects will arise and that there will be places at which the desired strength is not obtained in the end product.
  • the varying-thickness steel plate 11 at a temperature that is not less than the A c3 transformation point and not more than "the A c3 transformation point + 150°C" is fed into a hot stamping press apparatus 23 and is subjected to HS.
  • a hot stamping press apparatus 23 In order to make the temperature of the varying-thickness steel plate 11 not less than the A c3 transformation point and not more than "the A c3 transformation point + 150°C", for example, it suffices to heat the varying-thickness steel plate 11 at the second heating furnace 22.
  • the hot stamping press apparatus 23 is different from the forging press apparatus 21.
  • Press tooling e.g.: a die and a punch
  • Press tooling 23a and 23b forming a pair on the upper and lower sides is used to carry out the HS.
  • the varying-thickness steel plate 11 is subjected to press-working by the press tooling 23a and 23b to form the press-formed product 1, and the formed press-formed product 1 is cooled inside the press tooling 23a and 23b.
  • the cooling of the press-formed product 1 inside the press tooling 23a and 23b is rapid cooling.
  • the term "rapid cooling” refers to cooling at a cooling speed that transforms into martensite or bainite. In the case of performing another separate HS step after the current HS step, a structure mainly composed of bainite is allowed.
  • the cooling is performed by circulating cooling water inside the press tooling 23a and 23b to thereby cause heat exchange between the press tooling 23a and 23b and the press-formed product 1.
  • cooling may be performed by directly emitting cooling water from the press tooling 23a and 23b onto the press-formed product 1.
  • the press-formed product 1 having the desired dimensions and shape is formed by the press-working in the HS step.
  • the thin-wall portion 13 of the varying-thickness steel plate 11 is formed into the top plate part 2 of the press-formed product 1.
  • the thick-wall portion 12 of the varying-thickness steel plate 11 is formed into the upper-side ridge line parts 5, the vertical wall parts 3, the lower-side ridge line parts 6 and the flange parts 4 of the press-formed product 1.
  • the press-formed product 1 is quenched by cooling in the HS step.
  • the quenching causes the internal structure of the press-formed product 1 to transform from austenite into a hard phase such as martensite, and become a martensitic micro-structure (including a bainitic structure).
  • a hard phase such as martensite
  • a martensitic micro-structure including a bainitic structure
  • the volume fraction of the martensitic micro-structure is 80% or more.
  • the press-formed product 1 formed as described above has a martensitic micro-structure throughout the whole area thereof, the strength of each part is high. For example, if the chemical composition of the steel plate 10 used as a starting material is adjusted, the tensile strength of the press-formed product 1 will be 1300 MPa or more. Further, the varying-thickness steel plate 11 having a compact internal structure is formed by hot forging. Because the press-formed product 1 is formed from the varying-thickness steel plate 11, the toughness of the press-formed product 1 is high. The reason is that coarsening of the grain size of austenite ( ⁇ grain size) that is the source of the martensite is suppressed by forging.
  • the varying-thickness steel plate 11 in which the plate thickness ratio is large is formed by hot forging. Because the press-formed product 1 is formed from the varying-thickness steel plate 11, the weight of the press-formed product 1 is light. Therefore, according to the production method of the present embodiment, the press-formed product 1 that has high strength and for which a reduction in weight is also possible can be produced.
  • the steel plate according to the present embodiment that is described here is a steel plate in which the tensile strength after quenching is 1300 MPa or more.
  • the chemical composition of the steel plate contains the following elements.
  • the symbol "%" used in relation to an element means “mass%” unless specifically stated otherwise.
  • the strength after quenching mainly depends on the content of carbon (C) that governs the hardness of the martensite phase. Therefore, the C content is determined according to the required strength. To secure a tensile strength of 1300 MPa or more, the C content is 0.15% or more. More preferably, the C content is more than 0.20%. On the other hand, if the C content is too high, the toughness after quenching will decrease, and the risk of a brittle fracture occurring will increase. Therefore, the upper limit of the C content is 0.60%. A preferable upper limit of the C content is 0.50%.
  • Si Silicon
  • Si inhibits the formation of carbides during the course of cooling from the austenite phase until transformation to a low-temperature transformation phase.
  • Si increases the strength after quenching without causing a deterioration in ductility, and in some cases improves ductility. This effect is not obtained if the Si content is too low. Therefore, the Si content is 0.001% or more. More preferably, the Si content is 0.05% or more.
  • the Si content is 2.0% or less. More preferably, the Si content is 1.5% or less.
  • Manganese (Mn) increases the hardenability of the steel and stabilizes the strength after quenching. However, if the Mn content is too low, it is difficult to secure a tensile strength of 1300 MPa or more. Therefore, the Mn content is 0.5% or more. More preferably, the Mn content is 1.0% or more. If the Mn content is 1.0% or more, it is possible to secure a tensile strength of 1350 MPa or more. On the other hand, if the Mn content is too high, the band-like martensitic micro-structure will become nonuniform, and a deterioration in impact characteristics will be noticeable. Therefore, the Mn content is 3.0% or less. When taking into consideration the alloy cost and the like, an upper limit of the Mn content is 2.5%.
  • phosphorus (P) is generally an impurity that is unavoidably contained in the steel, P increases the strength by solid-solution strengthening. On the other hand, if the P content is too high, a deterioration in the weldability is noticeable. Further, in a case where the aim is to achieve a tensile strength of 2500 MPa or more, the risk of brittle fractures increases. Therefore, the P content is 0.05% or less. More preferably, the P content is 0.02% or less.
  • the lower limit of P content is not particularly limited. To more surely obtain the aforementioned effect, the lower limit of the P content may be 0.003%.
  • S Sulfur
  • S is an impurity that is unavoidably contained in the steel, and binds with Mn or Ti to form sulfides, and precipitates. If the amount of the precipitates increases too much, interfaces between the precipitates and the main phase may become the starting point of fractures. Thus it is preferable for the S content to be low. Therefore, the S content is 0.01% or less. More preferably, the S content is 0.008% or less.
  • the lower limit of the S content is not particularly limited. When taking the production cost into consideration, the lower limit of the S content may be 0.0015%, and more preferably may be 0.003%.
  • Aluminum (Al) deoxidizes the steel to enhance the state of the steel material, and also improves the yield of carbo-nitride-forming elements such as Ti. If the Al content is too low, it is difficult to obtain the aforementioned effect. Therefore, the Al content is 0.001% or more. More preferably, the Al content is 0.015% or more. On the other hand, if the Al content is too high, a decline in weldability will be noticeable, and oxide inclusions in the steel will increase and a deterioration in the surface texture of the steel will be noticeable. Therefore, the Al content is 1.0% or less. More preferably, the Al content is 0.080% or less. In the present specification, the term "Al content” means the content of sol. Al (acid-soluble Al).
  • N Nitrogen
  • the N content is an impurity that is unavoidably contained in the steel.
  • the N content is low.
  • the N content is 0.01% or less. More preferably, the N content is 0.006% or less.

  • B Boron
  • the B content is 0.01% or less. More preferably, the B content is 0.0050% or less.
  • the lower limit of the B content is not particularly limited. In order to more surely obtain the aforementioned effect, the B content may be 0.0003% or more.
  • the balance of the chemical composition of the steel plate according to the present embodiment is Fe and impurities.
  • impurities refers to elements which, during industrial production of the steel plate, are mixed in from ore or scrap that is used as a raw material, or from the production environment or the like, and which are allowed within a range that does not adversely affect the steel plate of the present embodiment.
  • the aforementioned steel plate may further contain 0.03 to 1.0% in total of one or more types of element selected from the group consisting of Ti, Nb, V, Cr, Mo, Cu and Ni in lieu of a part of Fe.
  • Each of these elements is an optional element, and each of these elements increases the hardenability of the steel, and stabilizes the toughness or strength of the steel after quenching.
  • the lower limit of the total content of the optional elements is 0.03%.
  • the upper limit of the total content of the optional elements is 1.0%.

  • the press-formed product production line includes the forging press apparatus 21, the HS press apparatus 23, at least one heating furnace 20 and at least one manipulator 50.
  • the production line also includes a control unit 51 for controlling all of these apparatuses 21, 23, 20 and 50.
  • the forging press apparatus 21 is used in the aforementioned hot forging step.
  • the forging press apparatus 21 forges a varying-thickness steel plate by repeatedly beating a high-temperature steel plate (blank) using the press tooling 21a and 21b. It is desirable for the forging press apparatus 21 to have a cooling apparatus for cooling the forged varying-thickness steel plate. The reason for this is to obtain an end product (press-formed product) that is excellent in toughness.
  • the HS press apparatus 23 is used in the aforementioned HS step.
  • the HS press apparatus 23 subjects a high-temperature varying-thickness steel plate to press-working by means of the press tooling 23a and 23b to thereby form a press-formed product.
  • the press-formed product is cooled inside the press tooling 23a and 23b that are cooled, or is cooled inside the press tooling 23a and 23b by means of cooling water emitted from the press tooling 23a and 23b, and thereby quenched.
  • the cooling speed and cooling end-point temperature are appropriately controlled for the press-formed product that was formed at a temperature that is not lower than the A c3 transformation point.
  • the thick-wall portion is more difficult to cool than the thin-wall portion. The reason is that the heat capacity of the thick-wall portion is large in comparison to the thin-wall portion. Therefore, it is desirable to subject the thick-wall portion to stronger cooling than the thin-wall portion.
  • the metal micro-structure In the thick-wall portion, formation of the desired hard metal micro-structure will be insufficient unless the intended cooling speed is applied. In such a case, in the press-formed product, the metal micro-structure will be nonuniform, and the strength will also be nonuniform. In addition, depending on differences in thermal contraction and differences in phase transformation strain that arises because of differences in the metal micro-structure, it may be difficult to obtain the intended dimensional accuracy of the shape. Further, if an interface part between the thick-wall portion and the thin-wall portion is cooled at a faster speed than the thick-wall portion and the thin-wall portion, the strength at the interface part will be higher than at other parts. In this case, there is a risk that when an impact load is applied to the press-formed product, the interface part will rupture due to secondary deformation.
